Getting Started with ASP.NET
Trying to find information on our websites is often a frustrating task. I often spend time aggregating information and posting it here. However, multiply this effort by thousands of Microsoft bloggers and it only contributes to the problem.
One of the hardest tasks is trying to find a starting point. If you’re new to the platform where do you go? Then once you arrive at any number of our sites the real grunt work begins. Change happens over time and I’m glad to say that we’ve redesigned the ASP.NET website. T
he four large buttons at the top of the home page make it simple:
Click Getting Started and you find 5 choices
Click Number 2 and you can get access to FREE software via the WebsiteSpark Program. Not the “Free” Express Edition, but the full commercial editions.
Options 1, 3, and 4 are self-descriptive, but Option 5 was a task unto itself before they simplified it here.
Hopefully visiting this site will make the process of learning new platforms or just finding the right resources a whole lot simpler.
SharePoint Designer 2007 is a Free Download
I thought I would point you to a free download of SharePoint Designer download before logging out for the evening. SharePoint Server is extremely popular in the enterprise and collaborative software markets. Personally, I really like the product for quickly creating team sites etc. However, design isn’t part of my day job so I always default to some vanilla template for my site.
Given the ease of creating sites, it should come as no surprise that SharePoint sites have grown geometrically within Microsoft. There are countless sites for every considerable team and project. Most created for function with little thought for visual aesthetics. I always cringe at the refrain: “Let create at team site!”. I want to stab pencils into my eyes – there is veritable sea muted baby blue and mauve team sites. These color schemes are the battleship gray of the collaborative software market.
Then alas, I was excited to learn that that Ferrari, yes the Italian exotic car manufacturer, launched their new web site built on SharePoint! Now that’s design for the 21st century.
